So let's say you want to access an i2c adapter from a C program. The
-first thing to do is `#include <linux/i2c.h>" and "#include <linux/i2c-dev.h>.
-Yes, I know, you should never include kernel header files, but until glibc

Now, you have to decide which adapter you want to access. You should
inspect /sys/class/i2c-dev/ to decide this. Adapter numbers are assigned
